Biography
Mstislav was the son of Iziaslav II of Kiev, and he served in his father's campaigns against Chernigov. While he won a victory over the Cumans in 1153, he was defeated by them at the Psyol river later that year. Yury Dolgoruky forced Mstislav to flee to Poland in 1155, but he returned with an army a year later and defeated Dolgoruky at Volodymyr-Volynsky; in 1157, he had himself crowned Prince of Volodymyr-Volynsky following Yury's death. In 1169, Grand Prince Andrey Bogolyubsky sacked Kiev and briefly removed Mstislav from power, but he returned to power in 1170. He died that same year.
